    We had a wonderful time at Golden Sands Oceanfront Hotel! The oceanfront views from our balcony were breathtaking, and it was so nice to have a kitchenette to prepare some meals. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile. The kids loved the pools, and the beach access was super convenient!

    The parking situation was a bit tricky at times.

    limited parking

    The Tiki Bar was the highlight of our stay, where I could sip on cocktails that tasted like they were made by a beachside wizard while enjoying a stunning ocean view. Our room was as comfy as a cloud, with endless waves lulling us to sleep at night. Plus, the staff treated us like family, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive.

    great location
    friendly staff
    unavailable amenities
    misleading information

    The stay was enjoyable despite some hiccups. The location was fantastic, just a stroll away from the Carolina Beach Boardwalk and other attractions like the Veggie Wagon. My family loved the bunk beds in our room, which made it perfect for the kids. I was a bit let down that some hotel amenities were not available during our stay, which affected the overall experience. The staff was friendly and did their best to assist us.

    oceanfront view
    spacious layout
    beach access
    dirty floors
    chlorinated pool

    Oceanfront views from the balcony offer a breathtaking sight that feels like a vacation postcard come to life. The rooms feature spacious layouts with kitchenettes for added convenience, utilizing the beautiful beach access just steps away.

    The indoor pool had a heavy chlorine scent that made it unpleasant, even for those just watching. I noticed small spots of sand on the floor upon entering my room, and the corners had dust accumulation that could use a good scrub. I found no coffee replenishment during my stay, which was a letdown for morning routines.

    oceanfront view
    private boardwalk
    beach access
    closed facilities

    The oceanfront view from the balcony provides a stunning backdrop perfect for relaxing with a drink. Direct access to the beach via a private boardwalk is a brilliant perk that really enhances the stay.

    We faced some real hurdles during our stay. The pools, both indoor and outdoor, were unexpectedly closed, leaving us with no option for swimming. On top of that, the Wi-Fi was frustratingly unreliable throughout, making it a challenge to connect when needed. Minor maintenance issues popped up as well. our shower faucet was loose, and there were a few small rust spots visible around the bathroom fixtures. A lack of a toilet lid made organizing morning toiletries a bit tricky. While these might be small beans, they added up to a less-than-ideal experience.

    great beach location
    comfortable balcony
    convenient onsite restaurant
    closed indoor pool
    lack of housekeeping

    The location was fantastic, right on the beach! I loved being able to relax on the balcony and watch the waves while my family enjoyed the pool. The onsite restaurant offered great meals, making it convenient to dine without having to go far. However, I was disappointed that the indoor pool was closed during our stay and there was no housekeeping unless requested, which felt a bit off given the price we paid.

    comfortable beds
    smoking odor
    noisy neighbors

    The ocean view from my room was absolutely breathtaking! 🌊 The comfortable beds made it really easy to relax after a long day. On the downside, smoking from nearby rooms really dampened the fresh air vibe.

    oceanfront view
    excellent service
    indoor pool
    spotty wi-fi
    cramped parking

    I loved the oceanfront view from my balcony. It felt great waking up to the sound of waves crashing. The room was clean and well maintained, which made my stay comfortable. Staff provided excellent service, always friendly and attentive. The indoor pool was a nice touch, especially since it was too chilly to swim in the ocean some days. I also appreciated the convenient beach access. However, the Wi-Fi was spotty, which made it difficult to stay connected when I needed to. Parking was a bit cramped too, particularly during peak times. Overall, my experience was enjoyable, but these areas could use some attention.
